When you have a lot of detections of the same virus (as in that Z-bot detection), it is frequently a false positive--unless it is a file infector (a virus like Sality or Virut) instead of a trojan.
The way the automated Clam AV signatures are prepared increases the chance of false positives--particularly on Windows System files. I suggest you upload one of those Z-bot-10374 files to Clam AV via the false positive report on the "submit a file" link on their web page. I would also report the trojans and the other Z-bot, since they are different detections. I think it might speed things up if you report them one at a time. Regards, |

Yes--Clam AV only needs the files. You can either insert the virus name on the false positive submit form or leave the default "unknown virus"--they will get the name when they scan your file.
The text in quarantine is to help if you want to restore the false positive file back to where it was--via the ClamWin Quarantine Browser program accessable via Start, All Programs, ClamWin, Quarantine Browser. I would just leave it there for 2 or 3 days if you don't need it. Otherwise, you will have to exclude the file from scanning and then remove the exclusion after Clam has corrected the false positive. When you can scan the file in quarantine without a ClamWin detection, they have fixed it, and you can then restore it. Have a nice weekend, too. Regards, |
